Conway Violated Rules Against Campaigning, Agency Says

A federal watchdog has found that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway twice broke federal law preventing officials from influencing political races. The Office of Special Counsel — unrelated to special counsel Robert Mueller, who’s investigating the Trump campaign — says Conway, whose ethics have been questioned before, fell afoul of the Hatch Act when she spoke in favor of embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in two television interviews late last year. The OSC’s report has gone to President Donald Trump for disciplinary action, but the White House has already slammed its findings.
